Life is more than it’s circumstances!
It has been a year since we are in this “new normal” way of living.
We are always to a greater or lesser degree subject to outside forces and moved by internal constraints.
The latter has to do with our personal need for security, respect, acceptance and love.
The former are the outside forces which we have to deal with, the environment, the government that we have, the existing health issues, ideology, culture to mention just a few.
When both of these factors come together we may find ourselves subject to oppression, the power of which can subdue the voice of protest, calling out for change and reform.
In the existence of these frightful forms of oppression and discontent, we can discover within ourselves what is appropriate where we can go beyond the control of the prevailing circumstances.
Clearly, during these times Life is large enough and it will reject the narrow and indifferent ways of those in power.
Change! Whatever you sense needs to be renewed, refreshed and improved...
Do not be afraid!
Be brave!
Live even if we are surrounded by fear, failure and setbacks..
As it is written, "I have envisioned and known you when you were still in your mother’s womb."
Amen! Have a meaningful Lent!
God bless us all.
